Ruling Court succumbs to laminitis

The impressive winner of this year's G1 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket has sadly been euthanised following complications due to laminitis. His Classic win was part of a history-making weekend for Godolphin and he was never out of the frame in all six of his starts.

 His trainer Charlie Appleby said, "Everyone at Godolphin is deeply saddened by the loss of Ruling Court. He gave everyone a fantastic day at Newmarket in May and he will be sorely missed. I would like to thank all of the team, who did everything they could to save him."
